Jury Gualandris, Associate Professor at Ivey and CAP’s lead, highlights the importance of teamwork: “This initiative shows the power of cross-sector collaboration. Together, we are building a stronger, more climate-resilient food system.”
“Farmers know their land best, and they have been calling for new methods of collaboration and knowledge-sharing. CAP provides an immediate platform for that collaboration, helping farmers break down silos to boost both ecological health and economic performance across the community." said Project Manager Jeff Pastorius, “This program gives a powerful voice to our farming communities, showing decision-makers how science and experience can come together to shape policy.”
CAP is currently seeking participants—farmers, agronomists, and First Nations agroecologists—based in Middlesex County. The deadline to join is July 4, 2025.
For more information or to join the program, contact cap@ivey.ca, call +1-519-661-2111 ext. 88864, or visit www.ivey.uwo.ca/sustainability.
